The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) designed to monitor and study tropical rainfall. The original satellite was launched Nov. 27, 1997, from Japan's Tanegashima Space Center. The satellite, which orbits in a low earth orbit, uses the TRMM Microwave Imager to measure precipitation. It also has a precipitation radar (PR), a visible infrared scanner (VIRS), the Clouds and the Earths Radiant Energy System (CERES), and a lightning imaging sensor (LIS). Final data is compiled from all theses sources and well as all other available satellite and ground data.

The term refers to both the mission itself and the satellite that the mission used to collect data. TRMM was part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth, a long-term, coordinated research effort to study the Earth as a global system. The satellite was launched on November 27, 1997 from the Tanegashima Space Center in Tanegashima, Japan.

- The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) was a joint space mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) designed to monitor and study tropical rainfall. The term refers to both the mission itself and the satellite that the mission used to collect data. TRMM was part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth, a long-term, coordinated research effort to study the Earth as a global system. The satellite was launched on November 27, 1997 from the Tanegashima Space Center in Tanegashima, Japan. As of July 2014, fuel to maintain orbital altitude was insufficient and NASA ceased station-keeping maneuvers for TRMM, allowing the spacecraft's orbit to slowly decay. Re-entry was originally expected sometime between May 2016 and November 2017. The probe was turned off on April 9, 2015 after its orbital decay accelerated. Re-entry occurred on June 16, 2015 at 06:54 UTC.
